California comes into this matchup looking for their fourth straight win to start the campaign and they have played very strong defense in their first three games. Kansas State is 2-0 to start the year and they are shooting nearly 56% from the field in those two wins. The Wildcats have scored 98 and 93 points in those victories and will be at home for this one. I think we are going to see plenty of scoring in this game, especially from Kansas State, so I like the over here.
